JC Lippold previews Cadre Today's weekday lineup and frames Monday as professional development, highlighting upcoming guests. He shares a practical takeaway from Mtiaz about boldness in regular one-on-ones as chances to move work forward.
Second week of Cadre today, every single weekday, Monday through Friday, at 07:30 a. m. central standard time. Thank you for the opportunity to share time with you. It is a gift.
On Mondays, we talk about professional development. You're going to see industry leaders, executives, people who are working within the space. How do we do that better? You're gonna see a really great lineup of people throughout the day.
Mtaaz talks about the power of regular one on ones, either from the perspective of the leader or the employee. The one word that I take away from Mtiaz's livestream is boldness. Every time you're connecting is the opportunity to move forward.
Well, hey there, Cadre. How are you today? Well, I hope you are swell. I'm just a little bit early for our 730 central standard time Cadre today, so I will wait until it officially clicks over, because, as we know, there are some people who are perennially early, some who are perennially late, and some who are right on time. So to live in the Cadre philosophy of many pathways to all of the things, whether it be wellness or scheduling your time, I'll go ahead and wait. Oh, my gosh. I just got the notification on my phone saying that I'm going live.
I love all these little reminders that we get to do the things that Cadre invites us to do. By golly, speak wonder is in the house. Good morning. Happy Monday. Speak wonder. Happy professional development day. Oh, my gosh. Here comes the crew. It is officially 730, so I will jump on in Cadre today. This is the second week of Cadre today. Hey, Jocelyn. Nice to see you again. m. central standard time. You see my face. My name is JC Lippold. We've never shared time and space together before. Thank you for the opportunity to share time with you.
It is a gift. Gift. In Cadre today, I do a little preview of what's coming up on the day and offer a little morsel, a little tactical and practical, to start your day. So on Mondays, we talk about professional development. You're going to see industry leaders, executives, people who are working within the space. And by the space, I mean the space of what they do. Mondays are professional development. The day that we talk about what we do Saturdays, personal development. Today we talk about who we are.
So what do you do for your work, your vocation, your profession? Your call? That's what we're talking about. How do we do that better? Shannon, our coo, always talks about, like, our. Our performance indicator in Cadre is, are people feeling better? So today we talk about what we do and how we do it better. You're gonna see people like our founder, Luke, coming up in about 30 minutes. Oh, by golly, I just say our founder, Luke. And Luke signs on. Hey, Luke. Nice to see you, my brother. You're gonna see people like.
Like Matt Tappy. You're gonna see a really great lineup of people throughout the day. And later on this morning, eastern Standard Time. Actually, I don't know where Mtiaz is at on the planets today, but Mtiaz, who is based in New Jersey, one of my favorite humans. I met Mtiaz when I was was supporting his organization with some professional development work as a consultant, and all of a sudden I'm like, gosh, this MT's fellow, I need to know him better. Now. All of a sudden, Mt's now comes to you with a little bit of professional and mindful growth right here in the Cadre sphere on Mondays.
Well, I watched Mtiaz's livestream from last week and he offered such a great tactical and practical that I would love to share it with you. I'll share it with you through my lens, but feel free to go back and watch MTaz's livestream from last week. You can simply pull down to past livestreams, scroll, scroll, scroll, find last Monday and click on in MT as talked about the power of regular one on ones with either your reports. But if you know me, I always flip the script. I talk about bold followership on Mondays.
So us as the employee, us as the follower, us as the person who makes a leader not a lonely nut, but someone who is starting a movement, who is guiding people. So Mtaaz talks about the power of regular one on ones, either from the perspective of the leader or the employee, the individual contributor. And MTs says in regular one to ones, there are three great things to always ask. Number one, what are the enablers? What are the things that we can ask for from our leaders to enable us to give us the space, the agency to do our job as well as we can?
Number two, what are the blockers? What are the things that our leader can remove for us from our pathway in order to do our jobs better? And number three is, what do you need from me giving permission to your employee to speak the truth quickly? It's another thing I love saying all the time, speak the truth quickly. We're often afraid that feedback is negative because we don't speak it with confidence and clarity. We often think that we need to tiptoe around a situation because we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
But the way that you hurt my feelings is if you feel like you need to tiptoe around me. I love when I know that people trust me, so they speak the truth quickly. So Mtaz says, hey, if you're a leader, schedule regular one to ones. Because if you wait for your annual review to air all the laundry, yeah, it's going to be a hard conversation. But if you have 25 bi weekly or 50 weekly touch bases is before your annual review, all of a sudden you go, ah, the annual review is not the big meeting. There isn't a big meeting.
Every time you're connecting is the opportunity to move forward. I know that Luke later on today is going to talk about growth. Growth innately. Leadership innately is evoking change and change what is changed. Time plus pressure creates change. It creates creation. It creates what is not already there, y'all. I watched Mtiaz's livestream this morning and you can hear that I'm on fire. The one word that I take away from Mtiaz's livestream is boldness. I love the idea of being bold in what we do and how we do it.
We all have something in us that says, I want to do the thing. I want to leave my mark. The way we do that is we boldly say, here is my truth. Here is what I know to be true in those one to ones. Here's what I know to be the enabler that I need. I need you to do this leader so I can run forward. Number two, here is the blocker. Here is the thing that I need you to deal with for me so I can keep running forward. And when was the last time someone asked you, what do you need from me, y'all? Cadre is a place where you can ask that question or have that question asked to you, y'all.
What do you need from Cadre? Let us know. And by golly, we are working hard to give you that space where professionals and peers are offering you community and resources to show you that there are many ways for you to do what you do in this world. That's what we talk about on professional development day. Have a good one and we'll see you tomorrow.
